Stayed for one night on the way to Hazyview to break up the journey.
The location is lovely. Great views all round. Nice little bar. Warm welcome and good food if you let the owner know in advance.
A very nice cosy atmosphere, typically South African hospitality.

We were travelling as a family in South Africa and stopped in Acra resort for 3 nights . It was a really pleasant stay. The owner and all the staff are so nice and friendly , the breakfast is great and the dinner abundant and delicious .
The decor of the room was also very nice.

We went to Emgwenya / Waterval Boven to climb, but chose Acra Retreat over the climbing places because of the raving review in Lonely Planet. The review was well deserved and the location is great. It is close by the Restaurant, Tirple Tier, The Island and Sport Valley crags. Unless your only goal in Waterval Boven is to climb the...

We had a clean room with beautiful views and a balcony. Breakfast was very good and the owner and staff were friendly and helpful. The only drawback was that our room formed part of the main building and was adjacent to the kitchen and bar which meant that it was a bit noisy. Overall a nice stay.

The most amazing B&B in SA!
What an amazing experience...from the moment you walk through the doors you are made to feel right at home. The brilliant hostess Norma and awesome staff were friendly and always willing to help. The drinks (and drink selection) in the cosy bar was the highlight of the evening. Everything was made even more memorable...

Everything is done properly with love and a lot attention to details, clean, great food, magical atmosphere.
Awesome place to stop on the way to Kruger park or just for traveling in this beautiful area.

What a place to stay on your way to the Kruger or Mozambique! We've been there for one night only - and when we got there, we realised the mistake we've made. You definitely need more than one night at Acra to fully appreciate the tranquility, beauty and serenity of the lodge and the surroundings. Great views. Well kept and...

I'm still here to climb...and sincerely i don't want go back to normal boring life!!Mpumalanga or Waterval Boven is an amazing natural place...if it was possible to snow here could be one hundred per cent an heaven!!Norma and her crew are more than wonderful!!! Thanks a lot!!!Marco

This place is a row diamond on the way to Kruger. Exactly in between J-Burg and Paul Kruger Gate. We arrived late and they have still cooked a wonderful meal with wonderful wine. We then spend a nice evening speaking to local people. If you would like to stay longer there is much to do around hire like some quad...
